Learn how Mary Cassatt composed and executed her paintings. Discover how to use color like Cassatt and how gesture and arrangement of objects in a painting can work together to tell a story of intimacy in its many forms. Working in either oil or acrylics and from photos, capturing figures in landscapes or interiors and from still life set-ups, you will create exciting paintings that are sophisticated in their concept as you make shapes, patterns and contours working together to demonstrate the power in simplicity and the beauty of everyday life.

Kell, Genie BFA, MA

Genie’s Master of Arts degree from New York University and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from John Herron Art Institute are complemented by undergraduate study at Yale and Columbia Universities and training at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Genie has lived and exhibited her art in Athens, Greece, and on the Aegean islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and, in Venice, Italy, while completing her master’s degree there.

In addition to classes and workshops in watercolor, mixed-media, composition, oil and acrylic painting, art appreciation and art history offered throughout the U.S., since 1998, Genie has offered immersion workshops in France, Italy, Greece, and Belize through her ART ADVENTURE WORKSHOPS. Genie’s upcoming workshop, Venice: The Veneto & the 2024 Biennale, is scheduled for that autumn and will include Venice in addition to excursions to Ravenna, Padua, Palladian palazzi and other historic sites along Italy’s east coast as well as in-depth study of the international, contemporary art featured in Venice’s renown biennial exhibition.

In all her classes and workshops, while Genie is introducing new ways of thinking about art, encouraging the use of new techniques, and serving as a conduit for art methods and information, her focus is on encouraging each artist to pursue and embrace the elements that ensure success as an artist.
